Costa Rica Expels Top Contra Leader

Adolfo Chamorro of the Democratic Revolutionary Alliance, known by its Spanish acronym ARDE, which is seeking the overthrow of Nicaragua`s leftist Sandinista government, was escorted by police to the airport and put on a flight to Miami, said a spokesman for the Investigation and Security Agency.

Chamorro was arrested Wednesday after he entered Costa Rica in violation of an expulsion order against him. He landed in a private plane on a remote airstrip near Nicoya, 165 miles northwest of San Jose near the Nicaraguan border.
